How to prepare furniture images for rendering

What to upload

An image of the piece itself, in the first image slot (Product image — what Studio renders from). Renders depict that exact piece, matching its silhouette, proportions, materials and finish, and copy nothing else from the image: not the room, not the background, not the props.

The thumbnail and lifestyle slots are optional. Studio and Editorial render a piece from a lifestyle image first and a thumbnail next, ahead of the main image, so leave them empty unless they show the whole piece clearly.

The ideal image

The image you'd use on a product page is usually the right one.

• The whole piece in frame, with a little space around it.
• A plain, light background.
• The angle you'd show on a product page: straight on or a slight three-quarter view.
• Even light, with no hard shadows across the piece.
• The piece alone: no props, people or other furniture.
• One finish per image.

Measurements

Furniture is never given a default size, so enter it.

• Width, height and depth, in inches, so the piece sits in the room at its real size.
• Left blank, Studio falls back to typical proportions for that kind of piece, and Editorial has no size to go on.
• Guess scale with AI, on the product's page, suggests them from the image for you to check.

Where it can go

In Studio, a piece takes the place of one found in your scene. Editorial offers it only where you say.

• Under More details, tick the furnishing spots it can take in Editorial, such as sofa or dining chair. With none ticked, Editorial doesn't offer it.
• A lamp is still a light. Give it a color temperature under More details, or file it under Lighting.

Before you save

Check each image:

• The whole piece, on a plain background, on its own.
• Even light, true color.
• Lifestyle and thumbnail slots empty, unless they show the whole piece.
• Width, height and depth entered; Editorial spots ticked.
• JPEG, PNG or WebP, 4.5 MB or less.
